AUGUST i.'7, 1H91. g government ownership would create an army of government employe, of dangerous political possibilities wj not be accepted a sound if the question ever comes to the tout, because the people have faith in their system of government, knowing that the duvolopment of the civil service law will do away with all objectionable features that might have existed under the old regime. Then the argument urged by Mr. Hu.nnnutox that the people need a stable security for the investment of trust funds, etc., simply reacts in favor of the government plan. If the government should take the road, it would issue the bonds in payment for them, and a government bond would always be a better invest-ment for the widow or tho orphan than the bond of a corporation subject to the (luctuationsconseiueut upon the manip-ulations of the railroad kings. If Mr. Hu'N ri.MiTOH is right; if publio interests demand single ownership, then we are moving toward a time of government ownership, for the genius of the American people will never rest until this question flhall have been set-tled iu harmony with the highest inter-ests of the people. TIIK UA1I.KOAD I'ltOlllEW. There is one feature of the demands made by tiie farmers alliance, the : knights of labor and other organiza-- i tion. which is laughed ut in all quarters ' but which has a very strong sentiment among our people behind it and which will have tu be met in the halls of log-- , islntion at an early day. Though the alliance cannot secure control of the government it can so impress its views upon the country that ono or the other of the great parties will have to solve this question which it raises. This question is that presented in the demand for the government ownership of rail- - roads. The drift iif events is more and more toward consolidation of railroad inter-ests and we stem to be approaching a time when tho trunk lines ol the coun-try will be under ono management. C. I'. Hi MiMiiuN is reported to have said some lime ago that ho could set-tle all tho railroad questions if he could have all the roads under one central authority. In the current number of the Sniik Anwriean Itvniew ho elaborates this idea, arguing in favor of a general consolidation as the only moans of doing away with the perplex-ities that have so long existed. It is not the purpose of Tun Times to dis- - cuss the grievances which the public has against the railroad companies. Mr. 1 1 ' n TixtiTos's article is an admis-sion that these grievances are valid. He admits their correctness, but his ar-gument that tho remedy is to bo found in placing all roads under the control of asinglo company proves tho conten-tion of the alliance ratherthan his own. J I is article is of tho greatest interest and we give beneath some extracts from it to show how the thought of the public, as shown in the platform of the alliance, ami the thought of the rail-road managers is drifting towards the same point: "Tho struggle between the different companies is not for the interest of a majority of the people who use the rail-road, as the very large shippers at the great competing points reached by two or more roads get an immediate benefit from the reduction of rates, while the small dealers are injured in their busi-ness to a very considerable extent. As some that a. hundred men are daaliug in some particular commodity. Ninety-t- i i no of them may each have a carload or less to ship, which is not enough to make it an object for them to go and "shop" among the different transporta-tion companies for rates; and if they did, the tonnat'o is not enough to make it an inducement for the companies to out the rate in their favor: but one man who has, ns is sometime the case, live hundred carloads to ship is vitally and he accordingly goes about among the various roads until ho tinally succeeds in obtaining the desired re-bates." "What possible remedy is thero for such a state of things, except joint ownership. As a simple business prop-osition it seems to me unreasonable, for, by its application, it can be readily seen that much of tha expense of maintaining separate organ-izations and separate ollieers will be cut olT, and a yreat multitude of agents ami agencies will be dispensed with. On the side of the people quite as much good will be the outcome. The com-plaint of charging more for a short than for a hmg haul, which comes from the shipper located botween instead of at the important centers, will cease to be heard, because tho pernicious sys-tem of giving rebates or commissions, or whatever they may be called, that cost the roads so much money and really do their patrons, as a whole, so much harm, will no longer be practiced the excuse or necessity thereforo no longer existing" "The raising of ra'es at points is one of the things done by railroads which it is hard to explain to the satisfaction of those who buy trans-portation, but it will continue to bfl done as long as railroads are controlled by scattered interests, and neither agreements nor laws will entirely pro-ven- t it. If, on the contrary, all the railroads of tho country wore hold in joint ownership, they would need much less rolling stock than is now required, as the great staple crops of the country are moved at different seasons of the year, and cars and locomotives could bo transferred from ono Hoctiou to an-other as needed, thus saving a large amount of capital which otherwiso, for a considerable portion of tho year, would be idle. "Our government bonds are constant-ly being called in and cancelled, while the surplus capital of the country is continually increasing. L'ulcssastable and safe security for the multitude is forthcoming, it does not need tho a financier to comprehend the possible situation of the future, when the investor, who seeks an assured in-come from his savings, will have to place his reliance upon tho wisdom of his own selection aiming a list of many hundreds of railway stocks and bonds, subject to all tho serious fluctuations that follow in the wake of selfish com-petition and inellieient management." It will be seen that Mr. Hlntincton makes a very strong case in favor of single ownership. His article in full rounds it out in such a manner that it would be very difficult for any one to show that tho remedy proposed, that of single ownership, is not sound. Com-petition iu private business is a good thing. It is a good thing also in busi-ness of a semi-publi- character such as that of the transportation companies, but the nature of thu railroad's fuuo-tion- s is such that public interests in-cline toward consolidation. Mr. Hunt-incto- n holds that corporate control of a great consolidation of lhe railways of the country would be satisfactory to the people, but on this point tho thought that stirs the alliance will differ from him. There are millions of men who would prefer to see this con-solidated control exercised by the national government, as they know that the trust would then be adminis-tered iu the interest of the people and that great private fortunes could not be built up by illegitimate manipulation of securities. If Mr. Huntington is right in stating that single ownership promises the only remedy, it follows that an effort should be made to bring it about; aud if it be brought, about it will certainly be the demand of the people that the govern-ment shall be at tho helm. The voters of the United States will never consent to have the transportatim facilities of the country with all their public func-tions placed under the control of any single corporation.

AVMI.KE TIIE HEP. ALU II WRONG. Salt Lake City, Aug. 2G, 1891. . Eorroit Turns In the Salt Lake Her-ald of this date under the head of "Re-vise tho Pension List" that paper makes some very erroneous and d statements. It says that $o7.000.000 has l een paid to agents. Since 1S00 meaning claim ageuts of course and that the same was paid to them as fees for prosecuting the claims and that all they the agents-h- ad to do was to file the applications. This latter statement is not true, as there never was a claim for peusion tiled that could be allowed under the law, upon the mere application for the same even though the claim or rase, may be a matter of record in the war department, and the surgeon general's office. Still further proof and iteps are required to be taken, by the claim-au- t through his attorney or agent be-fore such a claim can be allowed. Then again it is not the place or the duty of the department under the ex-isting law to till such applications and it is well indeed for the claimants, that such is the case as there would be no end to the delays ana annoyances me claimant would be subject" to if this were the case. It is true that tho fees allowed the claim attorneys comes out of the amount allowed the pensions but there is not one case in ten thousand and whorein the agent or attorney does not well earn every cent he gets, and on the other hand there are many cases in which he is but poorly paid for the amount of labor and time he is obliged to spend on them aud this is necessarily so by reason of the law and the rules aiid practice of the de-partment to tho end that justice may be done tho government as well as to the claimant iu each case. Then again the statement of the Herald that by "the prevailing system thousands who are now drawing pen-sions would not be on the rolls" is un-true, as under the strict rules and prac-tice of the department it is almost next to impossible to got a fraudulent claim through the pension bureau, and therefore, the statement of the Herald that "there has been more fraud prac-ticed through this source than was per-petrated upon the government during its whole existence before the war," is not only untrue, but ridiculously ab-surd. Then again when the Herald or any other paper or person says that "one third of those now drawing pensions are not entitled to them,'! tney say that which is untrue, for the reason that suclr a thing could not possibly be brought about under the very strict rules and practice of the department under existing laws. The idea is im-aginary and exists only in such minds as the Herald's for a purpose, which can be readily and easily discerned by any patriotic and loyal citizen. The statement that one-thir- d who draw ponsions do not need them may be true, but it is not their fault and there is no fraud in the fact that this may be so. "It is the law as made and enacted by the patriotic and loyal people of America for the benefit of its brave and loyal defenders. The state-ment that the other third "do not get what they deserve" is no doubt true, but that is not on account of any fraud, but it is the law, and the rules and prac-tice under which the law ia being; ad-ministered that is the cause of this. No doubt there may be a case now and then such as the Herald speaks of, but a careful, fair and just investigation would find them to be rare and far between. So much so indeed that the govern-ment would be loser in the great ex-pense that it would be put to to dis-cover them. I know oi my own per-sonal knowledge of many deserving soldiers who do not get what they should got. and while I have rejected many cases while in the employ of the government and have declined to pros-ecute many cases that came to me in my twenty years' practice I have yet to know the first case that I believe to be fraudulent.

The present state of things is per-fectly natural. The towns cannot de-velop far in advance of the country which must sustain them. They have had their boom, luit unfortunately booms do not clear lauds for the farmer open profitable mines, or develop a great chipping trade in a day. lhe towns have grown too fast, and, though much against their will, they must wait for thu country to catch up. Ji js a country worth'waiting for, a land of mim.no locations. The complaint comes from tho new mining district of La Plata that the whole country has bnea staked anil that the prospecter finds no encourage-ment, This is a complaint that it common in Utah, and the conditions of law from which it arises should be remedied. The subject should receive the attention of the legislature that will convene this winter, as it is most important to the mining industry that the evil should be remedied. A law must be passed regulating the timo within which the tirst year's assessment work shall be done, so that when a claim is staked the locator will bo re-quired to do some work upon it. In Colorado the location assessment has to be done within sixty days after the stake is set. This time might be cut down to thirty days to advantage. With such a law in force, a claim would open to re loca-tion if it were found that lbs work had not been done. This would make it impossible for a few men to lake up au entire district. Men would not take ground indiscriminately. They would only take that which they thought to bd good and which they could do the work on v. ithin the re-quired time. The Colorado law goes furiher and provides that ten feet of work shall be regarded as $100 worth on the location assessment. This is doue to prevent disputes about the amount of work. If it bo found that a shaft has been sunk ten feet, a tunnel run ten feet or an adit cut with a lace of ten feet, the question of the necessary work "having been done is settled and tho locator's liht to hold the ground is placed be-yond the reach of controversy. The result of such laws is to encour-age prospecting. They give every man a chance to get a foothold and compel all to show their good faith by going to work. That Utah needs something of the kind is demonstrated in every dis-trict. Every rightful encouragement should be extended to the prospectors, and the business of locating minerM lands should be so regulated as to se-cure the best interests of all who are engaged in it. The primary object of the government iu makiiig certain gen-eral provisions of lsw regarding loca-tions is to prevent the wholesale occu-pation of mineral land by a few indi-viduals. The subject is left to local regulation withiu the statutes, and the inteution of the government is defeated when such local regulation is not made effective. REPUBLICAN TERRITORIAL CONVEN-TION.

Oxe thing is certain the alliance movement in the south is stirring up the people in a manner that will have a salutary influence upon the politics of the future. The Canadian sealers are now ask-ing that they bo remunerated for dam-ag-accruing through the action of the British government in entering into the agreement with tho ITnUed States to stop their business. Tho question is one that our government will not be bothered with, but the people of this country will look upon the demand as a piece of impertinence. However, it Would serve Kngland just right if she ihould be compelled to settle with the people whom she so long encouraged. In a questionablo business. The republican county convention yesterday showed great earnestness on the part of those engaged in the work" There was a larger attendance than was anticipated aud tho spirit prevail-ing was highly encouraging to all who are interested in the cause.
